This is precisely my point! [says cr, not really remembering what his point was but it sounds good and nobody else will be able to remember what it was either so he's safe from contradiction...] They were all townies, and so went by the map, and not by local conditions like the icicles on the south side of the rocks...... > > >So knowing how to use and work with the natural elements of your > >landscape was very imporant, more important in the old days, before > >air conditioning and central heating made some of this stuff kind of moot > >points.

Yeah. They all pointed east, didn't they? Towards the Holy Land or so they thought. It was just about right for Lisbon Cathedral, but Canterbury was pointing resolutely towards Kiev. I expect our New Zealand version (Christchurch Cathedral) points faithfully towards Puerto Montt, Chile. > (I just \love/ picking the rare nits in KT's pontifications ;-) > > TEXena Can I help? cr ========================================================= This has been a message to the chakram-refugees list.
